PHOTOS: Three Durban men in court for drug dealing

Three suspects have appeared in the Durban Magistrate's Court on charges relating to possession and dealing in drugs.

A 22-year-old suspect was arrested after being found with heroin believed to be worth R14,000 yesterday.

Officers had been conducting an intelligence-driven operation on Westcliff Drive and Rank Avenue in Chatsworth, south of Durban.

Meanwhile, two suspects, aged 23 and 53-years-old, were nabbed in Cato Crest earlier this week after they were found in possession of dagga.

All three were then charged accordingly. We are going to continue with our raids and ensure that we get rid of drugs, especially in Chatsworth, Phoenix and other Durban areas," the police's Thulane Zwane said.
